 MADE BY AN ARTIST.

No Such s Thing as Real Red Hair-The Sunset Headed Maiden Is Never stupid Glowing Locks on the stage-In Lit

 s'Red hair! There's no such thing" exclaimed young and well known artist who has passed many days in sunny Italy the other afternoon as he prom enaded up Fifth avenue with an equally well known swell. They had just come from lunching at DelmOnico's at the swelrs expense, and the latter had Juss remarked, after the manner of his kind: By love, just look at that wed headed girl crOwssing Ovah heah; she gives me sunstroke, dOntcher know"
 s'why don't people call eolors by their proper namessn went on the eXaSperated artist as they passed the Brunswick.
 But, my deah fellah, dontcher know what Navy Anderson says, "A wOse by any other name would smell as sweet and if wed hair isn't wed, why, it looks wed all the same" and as this logic seemed irrefutable there was silence until the two men disappeared within the DOT tals of the KniekerbOcker club.
 The reporter, who had overheard thi. conversation, determined to unsOlve the mystery of red hair, and at dusk sought the artist in his studio to find out what color red hair was. The artist was look ing picturesque and kind, and was pleased to mix on his palette three different shades of red, three of yellow and three of brown.
 TWO OR THREE COLORS MIXED.
 'sNOw," said he, with the air of the col lege professor who pauses to catch ths class with some startling question, point me out the color that is like red hair" The reporter couldn't do it. He lowered about the orange color as the small boy around the circus tent, but could not touch it. He almost singled out one of the sickly looking browns, but the reds he skipped entirely.
 ''Give it up"
 Thought you wOuld,n said the artist, cOndescendingly. What people call red hair is a mixture of two or three cOlOrs, according to the shade of red. Now, look here. If I dab my finger in this yellow and mix it with that red, what do l gety"
 'swhy, exactly the color of hair the girl had today"
 II told you so," said the artist, land don't let any one ever convince you thaE there Is such a thing as real red hair. Call it red if you choose, but don't think ot it as the same color as train lantern or a coaching parasOl. because you will he wGy Off Adelaide Nelson had red hair, you know, one of the most beautiful tints. and Willie Winter spoke of it as the burnish- ed gold that fiOated around her royal head so if you choose to take that term you will be nearer the truth"
 IL is said by those who ought to know, ! and no one has cOntradicted the state ment. that Q red haired girl k never stupid girl. She is always quick of speech | and quick of action. Red hair Jrircs ! with 1t a quick intelligence and generally ! great sensibility. When it comes with | blue eyes and brown brOws and lashes ths l owner is of s sentimental turn of mind 1 and usually very musical; with brown l eyes and dark lashes the red headed girl is l noted for her beauty of complexion-gen- | erally an ivory white-her love of exercise, l and is very frequently endowed with great I dramatic ability.
 STRONG, EMOTIONAL NATURE.
 Red hair always goes with a strong. emo i tiOnal nature and the red haired girl | laughs and cries at the theatre when her | blaek and yellow haired sisters sit $ lent. | She Is a creature quick tO anger, eaSy 70 | please, lovable darling when she hkes | you, but sharper than two edged sword | and as bitter Us early gOOseberries when she doesn't.
 ''Who are our red headed siiIs and wOmens''
 Those on the stage are well known. Mrs James Brown Potter is perhaps tte most interesting Her fair Is coI-sI6ered her Greatest beauty. IL isn't the '-c-dd.shr | red hair, but it looks like bronze touched with tint of golden flame here aud there. Mary Anderson. who has li-h. brown hair, by the way, raves over Mrs. Pottcr's hair and wishes hers was like it.
 Kate Claxton has what iS car;.d real 1 red hair-the bricky, carrOty, dark red tint-but it is not n bit unbecominc. II $ so soft and silken. so plentiful and curis in loose ringlets. and then it las been such | salvation tO her. so she says, far when fire meets fire they run apart and she owes her miraculous escapes from burning hotels to her ruddy hair.
 In the literary world red hair is iIi- tensely admired. Emerson loved i-, James WhitcOmb Riley has written insny poems on it and in one calls it 'nut bTOrn hair with a golden gleam, " and Dante Gabrielle ROSettis wife, who died when verJ young, had hair of a yellow red, long and curling. | He buried all his poems with her. but the friends who had wished for his fame had them removed few years afterwards and found that the beautiful red hair Lad grown and twined itself all about tEe manuscript
 In our literary world of to-day there are many women with red hair.
 In the social world there are many red headed girls and women who are both belles and beauties.
 Among the great army of girls who earn their living in the large dry goods stores there are many with red hair which society belles would give great deal of money to possess.
 A lady artist gives few hints as to what cOlors red headed people should wear:
 Those who have hair vercing on brown look well in anything. Most red headed people should avoid crimson: pink is be- coming to pale golden red hair and very fair complexion; green of all shades to all shades of red hair; blue likewise; yellow to be avoided except by those with auburn hair; black especially becoming; also lay-
